Features(1) QJ71C24N, QJ71C24N-R2, QJ71C24N-R4 Serial Communication Modules(a) Upto 230,400 bps transmission speedThe total speed for 2 channels is now 230,400 bps. *1Thus, using 2 channels simultaneously enables high-speed communication at a maximum speed of 115,200 bps for each channel.*1 230,400 bps is available only for the CH1 side.(b) Support for circuit trace and communication test of GX Configurator-SC Version 2GX Configurator-SC Version 2 together with the QJ71C24N (-R2/R4) allows the circuit trace function to monitor thesend/receive data.The communication test function of GX Configurator-SC Version 2 also reduces debugging steps.(2) GX Configurator-SC Version 2The GX Configurator-SC Version 2 utility software makes communication control programming and debuggingeasier for the QJ71C24N (-R2/R4). *2*2 The QJ71C24 and QJ71C24-R2 are also supported. (See “GX Configurator-SC Version 2 and Functional Range applicable models.”)(a) Protocol FB function[1] Function blocks (FB) reduce communication control program steps.Without creating complicated sequence programs, equivalent function block programs can be created only by makingsimple on-screen settings. By incorporating the created function blocks into existing sequence programs, programmingsteps can be reduced.GX Configurator-SC Version2 (Including Protocol FB Function)Set packet information, packet data and PLC information on each screen.Convert to FBGX Developer Version8Paste a function block from the project tree to a program by drag and drop.[2] Support for function blocks to communicate with controllers manufactured by other companiesControllers manufactured by other companies are supported by providing function blocks preset with the packet information,packet data, and PLC information required for communication. This eliminates the requirement for any additional specialsettings.1
